DRYWALL Repairs: Slight cracking, nail "pops" and/or seams may become visible in walls and ceilings. These occurrences are caused by the shrinkage of the wood and normal deflection of rafters to which the drywall is attached. Most drywall repairs can be easily made. This work is best done when the room is to be redecorated. To correct a nail pop, reset the nail with a hammer and punch. Cover with "spackle", available at paint and hardware stores. Apply two or three thin coats. When dry, sand the surface with fine grain sandpaper before painting. Indentation caused by sharp objects can be filled with spackle in the same manner. Hairline cracks can be repaired with a coat of paint; slightly larger cracks can be repaired with spackle or caulk.
